Hungarian:

1. fénykép (lit. light-picture, a 19th-century neologism) (neutral)
2. fotó (colloquial)
3. felvétel (presumably a calque from German "Aufnahme", from the verbal prefix "fel-" (up) + "vétel" (a nominal form of the verb "take") (formal)

What about "снимок" (snímok)?

Ah, yes, фотоснимок (fotosnímok) and снимок (snímok) will do too, basically in the same meaning as фотография etc. Literally "a takeoff", from v. снимать (snimát') - to take off; to photograph.
To think about it, there are also the seemingly dated фотокарточка (fotokártochka) and карточка (kártochka), literally "a photographic (little) card" (e.g. in "И будет карточка пылиться // На полке пожелтевших книг...", from the soldier song "По полю танки грохотали..." from 1940s).

 

[Circunflejo]

Norwegian 'bilde' but also 'foto'. It seems 'foto' is used in a lot of European languages, even if it's not the main word. In Thai it's 'roop' or sometimes 'paap', never 'foto' as far as I know. It would be interesting to know if 'foto' has reached languages such as Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc.

Is this correct , another meaning of felvétel = recording ?

By the way, снимать (lit. "to take off") is not only "to photograph" but also "to record (a video)" (the descriptive verbal nouns for the processes are фотосъёмка "fotos'yómka" and видеосъёмка "videos'yómka"). Still, "snímok" can be only a photo.
